Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a thinner, winner Pokémon game. It’s built for Pokémon vets and first-time Pokémon Trainers. In fact, there aren’t any Pokémon Trainers in Arceus coz this is a big Poké prequel! It’s a place where even your modern trainers look weird. That’s coz your playable pal has been snatched away and tossed back in time. It’s up to you to compile the very first Pokédex with piles of Pokémon. There are five booming biomes to tame in the historic Hisui region. Fully fun fields. Massive monster-stuffed mountains. Poison-farting swamps. A cool icy region. And a hot beach made hotter by a volcano. Plus, stacks of Poké pals. Natch. We love how EZ it is to catch wildly unaware Pokémon with wooden Poké Balls. Plus, no more battle screens. Dive straight into Pokémon brawls as you explore. Boost your biff success with faster Agile strikes, or heavier Strong attack and make fab friends along the way.

PRO TIP!

Blitz past the fifth mission in Pokémon Legends: Arceus to unlock Mystery Gifts. These peak pressies gift sweet swag and sometimes handy items like spare Poké Balls. (Can you ever have enough of those?) Open your Satchel. Head to Communications. Then unlock Mystery Gifts with “Get via Internet” and “Check Mystery Gifts” to load up, legends!
